The Chesapeake Bay Candle brand was founded in 1994 by Mei Xu and David Wang. They were mesmerised and inspired by the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay shoreline near their home, so they decided to pay tribute to it by naming their brand Chesapeake Bay Candle.

With a striking, contemporary collection, Chesapeake Bay Candle found its niche in the marketplace as a consumer-centric brand, focused on fragrances with essential oils and driven by design. The brand leverages a deep understanding of the power of scent to inspire a life lived with purpose. Today, the brand continues to leverage a deep understanding of the power of scent to inspire high-quality, aromatherapy-inspired fragrances and clean, simple designs. Chesapeake Bay Candles helps to create an ambiance for mindfulness to bring balance back to everyday life.
